most satisfactory manner, land Of whose high
Standing in financial circles no proof is needed.

Very much like his predecessor the
new governor asanmos his office with the
cordial respect Of tho people Of the
State, justly resulting from long and
ueeful life spent among them and devoted
very largely to- their material and
political interests, His inaugural
address, which We publish in
full to-day, will repay perusal by
every citizen, whatever his political
faith. IL possesses one great merit IT is
absolutely unambiguous. No one after
reading it will be in doubt as to the gov
ernor's views upon any single topic to
which he refers. In It's style, the address
is clear and vigorous. He opposes re-
appointments to Office and promises the
cautious exercise OF the pardoning power,
Respecting constitutionalreform he styles
himself IAN earnest advocate Of constitu-
tional reform by means of a convention"
favofs district representation and an in
crease OF that from New Castle county. He
also advocates the election OF the county
officers now appointed by the governor
and their payment by salaries in lieu OF
fees. He recommends legislation respect
ing primary elections and considers the re-
port Of the State treasurer most graft
flying.
Upon national affairs, the governor re-
~ the tarif, silver question and civil
service reform, and emphatieally de-
nounces the present excessive Federal
taxation, criticises the policy Of the
Federal government respecting silver,
and declares himself not in favor of
''what is popularity known as civil service
REFORM
While on many of the subjects referred
to, we agree with the governor, there are
others upon which our views diverge
from his, but we shall reserve the COM
ments, which it is not practicable to make
to-day, upon various topics of interest
which he discusses
Upon the subject Of constitutional re,
form, it will be interesting to compare
his views with those which he expressed
in the convention more than thirty years
ago. While We are glad to find that
he adheres to the views then ex
pressed, we cannot but regret that
as TO the manner of giving effect to them
he has grown more conservative as he hal
grown older, and is disposed to pm hi
faith, so far as methods Of constitutions
reform are concerned, TO the impracti
cable article IL of the constitution.
